Helping Men Care for Loved Ones: IN-HOME Outreach for Male Caregivers

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

In this randomized, two-group study, male caregivers identified in the United States will receive outreach from CHWs trained in the IN-HOME program or an alternative menopause-focused training (SUPPORT). Each CHW will support five to six male caregivers over about three weeks, with participants completing three surveys to measure knowledge, self-efficacy, health outcomes, and satisfaction with the program and app toolbox. The trial aims to determine whether the IN-HOME outreach improves caregiving-related knowledge and resource navigation, and whether it positively affects general, physical, and mental health and daily functioning. The study is led by KDH Research & Communication with collaboration from NIMHD. Materials and methods were developed to reflect the needs of male caregivers of older adults.
